28, the prince's doubts
"Father, what's going on?" Seeing that the queen mother fainted in bed, and the father did not let Wen Xing stay to continue the treatment, Liu Wei's face was full of doubts, and he asked in a low voice.
Emperor Hui pondered for a while, then glanced at Concubine Hua carefully, pointed outside, and said softly: "Let's go out and talk about it, it is inconvenient for your mother to know about this matter for the time being." ”
Liu Wei nodded, followed Emperor Hui to the outer hall, and asked in a low voice: "Erchen doesn't understand, why does Imperial Doctor Wen treat Imperial Doctor Wen like a prisoner today?" ”
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts! I don't know who's loyal and who's traitorous now! Emperor Hui sighed, put his hands behind his back and said, "Do you know what kind of poison your mother was in yesterday?" ”
"Seven insects and seven grass poison, didn't Wen Xing already make it clear yesterday?" Liu Wei asked suspiciously: "Erchen doesn't understand, is there anything wrong with this?" ”
"Hey, hey! Silly boy. Emperor Hui turned around, patted Liu Wei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The problem here is too big!" You don't know when you're young, it's right, this seven insects and seven herbs poison is an ancient strange poison, there is no fixed antidote to this poison, the materials used in the poison are different, and the materials used in the antidote are different! ”
Liu Wei's face showed a look of surprise, and he exclaimed, and then immediately covered his mouth and whispered: "In this way, Wen Xing can quickly know that the antidote must be related to his mother's poisoning!" ”
Emperor Hui nodded and said, "I'm very suspicious of her, but I haven't investigated further, let's talk about it when the results of the investigation come out, and hide it from your mother during this time!" ”
"Of course, including the other people in the Baohua Palace, don't let your mother bother because of this!" Emperor Hui looked at the many palace maids and eunuchs in Baohua Palace, and said loudly: "Whoever dares to chew his tongue, I will help him pull out his tongue!" ”
Everyone was so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The slave doesn't dare!"
Emperor Hui nodded, and said to Liu Wei: "I still need to investigate this matter further, and now the source of the poison, Wen Xing confessed that it was provided by his father, but there are still problems here." ”
Liu Wei nodded and said, "Wen Xing, they don't have the ability to poison the queen mother, which means that there are other people involved in this matter!" Father, please also hand over this matter to the sons and daughters to investigate, and the sons must find out and arrest all the murderers who hurt my mother! ”
Emperor Hui nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is very complicated, if Wen Xing was sincere in wanting to harm your mother, he wouldn't have tried so hard yesterday." Your main task now is to find out who in the palace has the opportunity to poison your queen mother! ”
Emperor Hui pondered for a while and said: "This poison must be poisoned for seven consecutive days, so you should think about what your mother has been eating during this time, if not, it means that the murderer who poisoned your mother is a person who is very close to your mother!" ”
The prince's brows immediately furrowed, and he muttered, "The queen mother's appetite has not been very good recently, and her eating has been irregular. And this meal is not a medicine, so it is more difficult to start from this aspect. ”
Gonggong Hai had been listening to the conversation between their father and son on the side, and when he heard the last sentence of the prince, a puzzled look appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but say: "Niangniang's meals are not regular during this time, but she has been drinking the medicinal diet prepared by Imperial Doctor Wen." ”
Emperor Hui and the crown prince immediately turned their heads to look over, and there was a look of understanding on their faces, and asked, "Tell me clearly, what's going on." ”
Gonggong Hai hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "Some time ago, Niangniang was not in good health, and she has been taking a pair of medicinal diets prescribed by Imperial Doctor Wen, and I used it at noon yesterday, but it was just ......."
"Just what? Don't babble, say what you have directly! Emperor Hui stepped forward quickly and asked loudly.
"It's just that someone has tried this medicine before taking it, and both the minion and the stamen have tried it, why are we fine?" Hai Gonggong said uncertainly.
"Haha!" Emperor Hui laughed, nodded at Gonggong Hai, and said, "Stupid slave, this medicine must be taken for seven consecutive days, and as long as it is interrupted for one day in between, it will be ineffective!" ”
The prince looked at Emperor Hui with a smile and said, "It seems that Wen Xing is really bold, and the medicine is also ordered by him!" ”
Emperor Hui nodded and said, "Yes, I just took advantage of the opportunity to boil the medicine to poison it, and it was really a good calculation!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Hai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The medicine is boiled by Xiaofuzi in the medicinal canteen, and it has nothing to do with Imperial Doctor Wen." ”
